There were
tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of God had gone
in unto the daughters of men, and had begotten them children, the same children
were the mightiest of the world, and men of renown. And when the Lord saw that
the wickedness of man was increased upon the earth, and that all the imagination
and thoughts of his heart was only evil continually, he repented that
he had made man upon the earth, and sorrowed in his heart. And said: I will
destroy mankind which I have made, from off the face of the earth: both man,
beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them. But
yet Noe found grace in the sight of the Lord. Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might. Put on the armour of God, that ye may stand steadfast against the crafty
assaults of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but
against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this
world against spiritual wickedness, for heavenly things.
For this cause take unto you the armour of
God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand perfect in all
things.
Stand therefore, and your loins girt about
with verity, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and shod with shoes
prepared by the Gospell of peace. Above all take to you the shield of faith,
wherewith ye may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet
of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. And pray
always with all manner prayer and supplication: and that in the spirit: and
watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints and for me,
that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to utter
the secrets of the Gospell, whereof I am a messenger in bonds, that therein I
may speak freely, as it becometh me to speak.
THE EPISTLE OF ST. JAMES Chpt 4
From whence cometh war and fighting among you:
come they not here hence? even of your voluptuousness, that reign in your
members. Ye lust, and have not. Ye envy and have indignation, and cannot obtain.
Ye fight and war and have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask and receive not,
because ye ask amiss: even to consume it upon your voluptuousness. Ye *advouterers,
and women that break matrimony: know ye not how that the friendship of the world
is enmity to God ward? Whosoever will be friend of the world, is made the enemy
of God. Either do ye think that the scripture saith in vain: The spirit that
dwelleth in you, lusteth even contrary to envy: but giveth more grace.
Submit your selves to God, and resist the
devil, and he will fly from you. Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to
you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purge your hearts ye wavering minded.
Suffer afflictions: sorrow ye and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness. Cast down yourselves before the Lord, and he shall
lift you up. Backbite not one another, brethren. He that backbiteth his brother,
and he that judgeth his brother, backbiteth the law, and judgeth the law. But
and if thou judge the law, thou art not an observer of the law: but a judge.
There is one law giver, which is able to save and to destroy. What art thou that
judgest another man?
Go to now ye that say: today and tomorrow
let us go into such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell, and win:
and yet cannot tell what shall happen tomorrow. For what thing is your life? It
is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away: For
that ye ought to say: if the Lord will and if we live, let us do this or that.
But now ye rejoice in your boastings. All such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to
him that knoweth how to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin
*advouterers: a-devouter; the prefix a meaning not or without; a (not) devotion, here to husband, elsewhere to the truth, Christ , God our father. This is not adultery as found in most other "bibles". The proof is that the word "adultery" is found plainly in chapter 2 PP 3 above and Yet here is advouterers, same writer, same book.
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
For the wrath of God appeareth from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men which withhold the truth in unrighteousness: seeing, what may be known of God, that same is manifest among them. For God did show it unto them. So that his invisible things: that is to say, his eternal power and godhead, are understood and seen, by the works from the creation of the world. So that they are without excuse, in as much as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were blinded. When they counted themselves wise, they became fools and turned the glory of the immortal God, unto the similitude of the image of mortal man, and of birds, and fourfooted beasts, and of serpents. Wherefore God like wise gave them up unto their hearts lusts, unto uncleanness, to defile their own bodies between themselves: which turned his truth unto a lie, and worshipped and served the creatures more then the maker, which is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto shameful lusts. For even their women did change the natural use unto the unnatural. And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burned in their lusts one on another. And man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves the reward of their error, as it was according.
And as it seemed not good unto them to be a known of God, even so God delivered them up unto a lewd mind, that they should do those things which were not comely, being full of all unrighteous doing, of fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, evil conditioned, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proud, boasters, bringers up of evil things, disobedient to father and mother, without understanding, covenant breakers, unloving, truce breakers and merciless. Which men though they knew the righteousness of God, how that they which commit such things, are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also have pleasure in them that do them.
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
Every man can *eschue a person moved to anger, for what he doth
wisely? Even so shall the Lord of Hosts take away from Jerusalem and from Juda,
all possessions and power, all meat and drink, the captain and the soldier, the
judge and the prophet, the wise and the aged man, the worshipful of fifty year
old, and the honorable: the Senators, and the men of understanding: the masters
of crafts and orators. And I shall give you children to be your princes,( sayeth
the Lord ) and babes shall have the rule of you. One shall ever be doing
violence and wrong to another. The boy will presume against the elder, and the
vile person against the honorable. Ye when one shall take a friend of his
own kindred by the bosom, and say: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head,
for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril.
Then shall he swear and say: I can not
help you. Moreover, there is neither meat nor clothing in my house, make me
no ruler of the people. For Jerusalem and Juda must decay, because both their
words and counsel are against the Lord, they provoke the presence of his Majesty
unto anger. The changing of their countenance betrayeth them, yee they
declare their own sins themselves, as the Sodomites, and hide them not. Woe be
unto their souls, for they shall be heavily rewarded. Then shall they say: O
happy are the godly, for they may enjoy the fruits of their studies. But woe be
unto the ungodly and unrighteous for they shall be rewarded after their works. O
my people, *ribaudes oppress thee, and women have rule of thee. O my people, thy
leaders deceive thee, and tread out the way of thy footsteps. The Lord is
here to commune of the matter, and standeth to give judgement with the people.
The Lord shall come forth to reason with the Senators and princes of his people,
and shall say thus unto them: It is ye that have burnt up my vineyard, the
robbery of the poor is in your house. Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and
marred the faces of the innocents? thus shall the Lord God of Hosts revile them.
Moreover thus sayeth the Lord: Seeing the
daughters of Sion are become so proud, and come in with stretched out necks, and
with vain wanton eyes: seeing they come in tripping so nicely with their feet:
Therefore shall the Lord shave the heads of the daughters of Sion, and make
their beauty bare in the day. In that day shall the Lord take away the
gorgeousness of their apparel, and spangles, chains, *partlets, and collars,
bracelets and hooves, that goodly flowered wide and boarded raiment, brushes and
head bands, rings and garlands, holy day clothes and veils, kerchiefs and pins,
glasses and smocks, bonnets and *taches
And instead of good smell there shall be
stink among them. And for their girdles there shall be loose bands. And for well
set hair there shall be baldness. Instead of a stomacher, a sackcloth, and for
their beauty witherdness and *son burning. Their husbands and their mighty men
shall perish with the sword in battle
*eschue (avoid, escape) *ribaudes ( extortioners :MN). *partlets = ruffled covering for the neck. *taches = buckles, clasps, fasteners. *son burning exactly as recorded
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 20
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the people which are in the four quarters of the earth Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea: and they went up on the plain of the earth, and compassed the tents of the saints about, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God, out of heaven, and devoured them: and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 12
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven: A woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. And
she was with child and cried travailing in birth, and pained ready to be
delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven, for behold a great red
dragon having seven heads, and ten horns and crowns upon his heads: and his tail
drew the third part of the stars, and cast them to the earth.
And the dragon stood before the woman,
which was ready to be delivered: for to devour her child as soon as it were
born. And she brought forth a man child, which should rule all nations with
a rod of iron. And her son was taken up unto God, and to his seat. And the woman
fled into wilderness, where she had a place, prepared of God, that they should
feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
And there was a great battle in heaven,
Michael and his Angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his
Angels, and prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. And
the great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan was cast out.
Which deceiveth all the world. And he was cast into the earth, and his angels
were cast out also.
And I heard a loud voice saying: in heaven
is now made salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God, and the power of
his Christ. For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night. And
they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony,
and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice heavens, and ye
that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, and of the sea: for
the devil is come down unto you which hath great wrath, because he knoweth that
he hath but a short time.
And when the dragon saw, that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, which brought forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. And the dragon cast out of his mouth water after the woman as it had been a river, because she should have been caught of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed, up the river, which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman: and went and made war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And I stood on the sea *stonde.
(the flood out of satans mouth is all the worldly lies and deceptions and deceit ...)
that flood is the wicked waters of any and all LIES ...of the LEFT especially evil spiritual lies ...even as the king james bible of Gog and Magog ...fills the land ...
even true evil ...evil masked in good ...evil masked in love ...
*stonde: two possible words come from the Middle English: stound: meaning "a short time" and stonen: meaning "stunned". stunned because of the vision.
ABORTION ...And the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be delivered: for to devour her child as soon as it were born.
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 18
And after that, I saw
another Angel come from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened
with his brightness. And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying: Great
Babylon is fallen, is fallen: and is become the habitation of devils, and the
hold of all foul spirits, and a cage of all unclean and hateful birds for all
nations have drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the
kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and her merchants are
waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
And I heard another voice from heaven, say:
come away from her my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye
receive not of her plagues. For her sins are gone up to heaven, and God hath
remembered her wickedness. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and give her
double according to her works. And pour in double to her in the same cup which
she filled unto you. And as much as she glorified herself and lived wantonly so
much pour ye in for her of punishment and sorrow, for she said in her heart: I
sit being a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her
plagues come at one day, death, and sorrow, and hunger, and she shall be burnt
with fire: for strong is the Lord God which judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth shall beweep her
and wail over her, which have committed fornication with her, and have lived
wantonly with her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, and shall stand
afar off, for fear of her punishment, saying . Alas, Alas, that great city
Babylon, that mighty city: for at one hour is her judgment come. And the
merchants of the earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will buy
their ware any more, the ware of gold and silver, and precious stones,
neither of pearl, and raynes and purple, and scarlet, and all thine wood, and
all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and
of brass and of iron, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense,
and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, beasts, and sheep, and horses, and
chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
And the apples that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee. And all things which were dainty, and had in price are
departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more. The merchants
of these things which were waxed rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear
of the punishment of her, weeping and wailing, and saying: Alas, alas, that
great city, that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with
gold, and precious stone, and pearls: for at one hour so great riches is come to
nought.
And every ship governor, and all they that
occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off, and cried,
when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying: what city is like unto this
great city? And they cast dust on their heads, and cried weeping, and wailing,
and said: Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships
in the sea, by the reason of her costliness, for at one hour is she made
desolate.
Rejoice over her thou heaven, and ye holy
Apostles and Prophets: for God hath given your judgement on her. And a mighty
angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying:
with such violence shall that great city Babylon be cast, and shall be found no
more. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters,
shall be heard no more in thee: and no crafts man, of whatsoever craft he be,
shall be found any more in thee. And the sound of a mill shall be heard no
more in thee, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride, shall be heard
no more in thee, for thy merchants were the great men of the earth. And with
thine enchantment were deceived all nations: and in her was found the blood of
the Prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 22
And he showed me a pure
river of water of life clear as Crystal: proceeding out of the seat of God and
of the lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river
was there wood of life: which bare twelve manner of fruits: and gave fruit every
month: and the leaves of the wood served to heal the people with all. And there
shall be no more curse, but the seat of God and the lamb shall be in it: and his
servants shall serve him. And they shall see his face, and his name shall be in
their foreheads. And there shall be no night there, and they need no candle,
neither light of the sun: for the Lord Giveth them light, and they shall reign
for evermore.
And he said unto me: these sayings are
faithful and true. And the Lord God of Saints and Prophets sent his angel to
show unto his servants, the things which must shortly be fulfilled. Behold I
come shortly. Happy is he that keepeth the saying of the prophecy of this book.
I am John which saw these things and heard them. And when I had heard and seen,
I fell down, to worship before the feet of the Angel which showed me these
things. And he said unto me: see thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant and
the fellow servant of thy brethren the Prophets and of them which keep the
sayings of this book. But worship God.
And he said unto me: seal not the sayings of
the prophesy of this book. For the time is at hand. He that doth evil, let him
do evil still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be more righteous: and he that is holy, let him be more holy.
And behold I come shortly, and my reward with me, to give every man according as
his deeds shall be. I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end: the first
and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that their power may be
in the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For
without shall be dogs and enchanters and whoremongers, and murderers, and
idolaters, and whosoever loveth or maketh leasings.
I Jesus sent mine angel, to testify unto you
these things in the congregations. I am the root and the generation of David,
and the bright morning star. And the spirit and the bride said come. And let him
that heareth, say also, come. And let him that is a thirst, come. And let
whosoever will, take of the water of life, free.
I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book: *If any man shall add unto these things, God
shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man
shall minish of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his
part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from those things
which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith: be it, I
come quickly, Amen.
Even so: come Lord Jesu.
The grace of our Lord Jesu Christ be with you all:
Amen
*If any man shall add unto these
things...And if any man shall minish of the words ... discern for yourselves
...the 100's and 100's of dieverse "bibles of man"
Now will then, I will sing my beloved friend a song of his vineyard. My
beloved friend hath a vineyard in a very fruitful plenteous ground. This he
hedged, this he walled round about, and planted it with goodly grapes. In the
midst of it builded he a tower, and made a wine press therin. And afterward when
he looked that it should bring him grapes, it brought forth thorns. I show you
now my cause ( O ye Citizens of Jerusalem and whole of Juda ) : Judge, I pray
you, betwixt me and my vineyard. What more could have been done for it, that I
have not done? Wherefore hath it given thorns, where I looked to have grapes of
it?
Well, I shall tell you how I will do with my
vineyard: I will take the hedge from it, that it may perish, and break down the
wall, that it may be trodden under foot. I will lay it waste, that it shall
neither be twisted nor cut, but bear thorns and briers. I will also forbid the
clouds, that they shall not rain upon it. As for the vineyard of the Lord of
Hosts it is the house of Israel, and whole Juda his fair planting. Of these he
looked for equity, but see there is wrong: for righteousness, lo, It is but
misery.
Woe unto you that join one house to
another, and bring one land so nigh unto another, till ye can get no more
ground. Will ye dwell upon the earth alone? The Lord of Hosts roundeth me
thus in mine ear: shall not many greater and more gorgeous houses be so waste,
that no man shall dwell in them? And ten acres of vines shall give but a Quart,
and thirty bushels of feed shall give but three.
Woe unto them that rise up early to use
themselves in drunkenness, and yet at night are more superfluous with wine. In
those companies are harps and lutes, tabrets and pipes, and wine. But they
regard not the work of the Lord, and consider not the operation of his hands.
Therefore cometh my folk also in captivity, because they have no understanding.
Their glory shall be mixed with hunger, and their pride shall be marred for
thirst. Therefore gapeth hell, and openeth her mouth marvelous wide: that pride
boasting and wisdom, with such as rejoice therin, may descend into it.
Thus shall man have a fall, he shall be
brought low, and the high looks of the proud layed down. But the Lord of Hosts,
that holy God: shall be exalted and untouched, when he shall declare his equity
and righteousness after this manner: Then shall the lambs eat their appointed
fodder, and shall feed plentiously in the mountains. Woe be unto vain
persons, that draw wickedness unto them, as it were with a cord: and sin, as it
were with a cart rope. Which use to speak on this manner: Let him make hast now,
and go forth with his work, that we may see it. Let that counsel of the holy one
of Israel come, and draw nye, that we may know it.
Woe be unto them that call evil good, and
good evil: which make darkness light, and light darkness, that make sour sweet,
and sweet sour.
Woe be unto them that are wise in their own sight, and think themselves to have understanding.
Woe be unto them that are conning men to sup out wine and expert to set up
drunkenness. These give sentence with the ungodly for rewards, but condemn the
just cause of the righteous.
Therefore like as the fire licketh up the
straw, as the flame consumeth the stubble: Even so ( when their root is full )
their blossom shall vanish away as dust or smoke: for they despise the law of
the Lord of Hosts, and blaspheme the word of the holy maker of Israel.
Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled
also against his people, and he shaketh his hand at them: yee he shall smite so,
that the hills shall tremble. And their carcasses shall lie in the open streets,
like mire. After all this, the wrath of God shall not cease, but he shall
stretch his hand wider. And he shall give a token unto a strange people, and
call unto them in a far country: and behold, they shall come hastily with speed.
There is not one faint or feeble among them, no not a sluggish or slippery
person. There shall not one of them put off the girdle from his loins, *ner
loose the latchet of their shoe. Their arrows are sharp, and their bows bent.
Their horses hoofs are like flint, and their cart wheels like a stormy wind.
Their cry is as it were of a lion, and the roaring of them like lions whelps.
They shall roar, and haunch up the prey, and no man shall recover it or get it
from them. In that day they shall be fierce upon them, as the sea. And if we
look unto the land, behold, it shall be all darkness and sorrow. If we look to
heaven: behold, it shall be dark with careful desperation
There shall not one of them put off the girdle from his loins, Ephes 6:14 RN) *ner loose the latchet of their shoe.

THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 25
When the son
of man cometh in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he
sit upon the seat of his glory, and before him shall be gathered all nations. And
he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth the sheep from
the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the
goats on the left. Then
shall the King say to them on his right hand: Come ye blessed children of my
father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me drink. I
was harborless, and ye lodged me. I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and
ye visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous
answer him saying: master, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or a
thirst, and gave thee drink? when saw we thee harborless, and lodged thee? or
naked and clothed thee? or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto
thee? And the king shall answer and say unto them: Verily I say unto you: in as
much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done
it to me.
Then shall the king say unto them that
shall be on the left
hand: depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire: which is prepared for the
devil and his angels.
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me no
drink. I was harborless, and ye lodged me not. I was naked, and ye clothed me
not. I was sick and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him saying:
master, when saw we thee an hungered, or a thirst, or harborless, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them
and say: Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting pain: And the
righteous into life eternal
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 11
Then saw I a
dream: and behold, there came up from the sea an Eagle, which had twelve
wings and three heads: And I saw, and behold, *he spread his wings over all
the earth, and all the winds of the air blew in them, and so they were put
together again. And I beheld, and out of his feathers there grew other
little contrary feathers: the heads rested, the head in the midst was greater
than the others, yet rested it with the residue.
Moreover I saw, that the eagle flew with his
wings, and reigned upon the earth, and over all them that dwell upon the earth:
and I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto him, and no man spoke
against him, no not one creature upon the earth. I saw also that the Eagle
stood up on his claws, and give a sound with his feathers, and a voice
saying things after this manner: watch not all together, sleep every man in his
own place, and watch for a time, but let the heads be preserved at the last.
Nevertheless I saw, that the voice went not out of his heads, but from the midst
of his body. And I numbered his contrary feathers, and behold there were
eight of them. And I looked, and behold upon the right side there arose one
feather, and reigned over all the earth. And it happened, that when it reigned,
the end of it came, and the place thereof appeared no more. So the next
following stood up, and reigned, and had a great time: and it happened, that
when it reigned, the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it appeared
no more.
Then came there a voice unto it, and said:
Hear thou that hast kept in the earth so long, this I say unto thee, before thou
beginest to appear no more: There shall none after thee attain unto thy time.
Then arose the third, and reigned as the other afore, and appeared no more
also. So went it with all the residue one after the other, so that every one
reigned, and then appeared no more. Then I looked, and behold, in the process of
time that the feathers that followed were set up upon the right side, that they
might rule also: and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no
more: for some of them were set up, but ruled not. After this I looked, and
behold the twelve feathers appeared no more, and that two wings: and there were
no more upon the Eagles body, but the two heads that rested, and six feathers.
Then saw I also, that the six feathers were parted in two, and remained under
the head, that was upon the right side, for the four continued in their place.
So I looked, and behold, they that were under the wings, thought to set up
themselves, and to have the rule. Then was there one set up, but shortly it
appeared no more, and the second was sooner away than the first. And I beheld,
and lo, the two thought also by themselves to reign: and when they so thought,
behold there awaked one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in
the midst, for that was the greater of the two heads. And then I saw, that the
two heads were filled with him and the head was turned with them that were by
him, and eat up the two under wings , that would have reigned.
But this head put the whole earth in
fear, and bare rule in it, over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much
labor, and he had the governance of the world, over all the fowls that have
been. After this I looked , and behold, the head that was in the midst,
suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings: then came the two heads, which
ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein. And I beheld, and lo
the head upon the right side, devoured it that was upon the left side. And I
heard a voice, which said unto me: look before thee, and consider the thing that
thou seest. Then I saw, and behold, as it were a lion that roareth, running
hastily out of the wood, and he sent out a mans voice unto the Eagle, and said:
Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest shall say unto thee: Is it not
thou that hast the victory of the four beasts, whom I made to reign upon the
earth and in my world, and that the end of their times might come
through them?
And the fourth came, and *overwane, subdue
all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great
fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with the most wicked
labor, and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit, and the earth thou
hast not judged with truth. For thou hast troubled the meek, thou hast hurt the
peaceable and quiet, thou hast loved lies, and destroyed the dwellings of them
that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no
harm. Therefore is thy wrongeous dealing and blasphemy come up unto the
Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty. The Highest also hath looked upon the
proud times, and behold, they are ended, and their abominations are fulfilled. And
therefore appear no more thou Eagle, and thy horrible wings, and thy wicked
feathers, and thy ungracious heads, and thy sinful claws, and all thy vain body:
that the earth may be refreshed, and come again to herself, when she is
delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgement and mercy
of him that made her
Note Eagle *he spread his wings "over all the earth". *overwane= lord over (sml l ) over / diminish, weaken.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 12
And where as thou sawest two underwings upon the head that is on the right side, it signifieth that it is they, whom the Highest hath kept unto their end: this is a small kingdom, full of trouble. The Lion whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking unto the Eagle, and rebuking him for his unrighteousness, is the wind, which the Highest hath kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end: he shall reprove them, and rent them asunder before them. For he shall set them living before the judgement, and shall rebuke them: for the residue of my people shall he deliver with trouble, those that be preserved over mine ends: and he shall make them joyful until the coming day of Judgement, where of I have spoken unto thee from the beginning. This is the dream that thou sawest, and this is the interpretation. Thou only hast been meat to know the secret of the Highest.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 13
And it happened after the seven days, that I dreamed a dream by night.
And behold, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all the floods
thereof. And I looked, and behold, the man was strong and increased with the
clouds of heaven: And when he turned his countenance to consider, all the things
trembled that were seen under him: and when the voice went out of his mouth, all
they burnt that heard him, like as the earth when it feeleth the fire.
After these I saw, and behold there was
gathered together a multitude of men out of number from the four winds of the
heaven, to fight against the man, that came out from the sea. And I looked, and
behold, he graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it. But I would
have seen the border or place, where out the hill was graven, and I could not.
I saw after these, that all they which came
to fight against him, were sore afraid, and yet *durst they fight. Nevertheless
when he saw the fierceness and violence of the people, he neither lift up his
hand nor held sword, nor any weapon: but only (as I saw ) he sent out of his
mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips the wind of flame: and
out of his tongue he cast sparks and storms, and they were all mixed together :
the blast of fire, the wind of the flames, and the great storm, and fell with a
rush upon the people, which was prepared to fight and brunt them up everyone: so
that of the innumerable multitude there was nothing seen, but only dust and
smoke. When I saw this I was afraid.
Afterward saw I the same man come down
from the mountain, and calling unto him another peaceable people: and there came
much people unto him: some were glad some were sorry, some of them were bound,
so that they were carried and brought forth.
Then was I sick through great fear, and I
awaked, and said: thou hast shown thy servant all thy wonders from the
beginning, and hast counted me worthy, that thou mightest receive my prayer:
show me now yet this interpretation of this dream. For thus I consider in my
understanding: Woe unto them that shall be left in those days: and much more woe
unto them that are not left behind: for they that were not left, were in
heaviness.
Now understand I the things that are laid up
in the latter days which shall happen unto them, and to those that are not left
behind. Therefore they are come into great perils, and many necessities, like as
these dreams declare. Yet is it easier, that he which suffereth hurt come in
these, then to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and now to see the things
that shall happen in the last.
Then answered he me, and said: The
interpretation of the sight shall I show thee, and I will open unto thee, the
things that thou hast required. For thou hast spoken of them that are left
behind, and this is the interpretation. He that taketh away the peril in that
time, hath kept himself. They that be fallen into harm, are such as have works
and faith unto the Most mighty. Know this therefore, that they which be left
behind, are more blessed, then they that be dead. This is the meaning of the
vision. Where as thou sawest a man coming up from the deep of the sea, the same
is he that God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self will
deliver his creature, and he shall order them that are left behind. And where as
thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came a blast of wind, fire and storm,
and how that he lift up neither sword nor weapon, but that the rushing in of him
destroyed the whole multitude, that came to fight against him: it signifieth,
that the days come, when God will deliver them that are upon the earth, and in a
trance of mind shall he come upon them, that dwell in the earth. And one shall
undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against
another, one people against another, one realm against another. When this cometh
to pass, then shall the tokens come, that I showed thee before: and then shall
my son be declared, whom thou sawest climb up as a man. And when all the people
hear his voice every man shall in their own land leave the battle that they have
one against another, an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as
they that be willing to come and to overcome him by fighting. But he shall stand
upon the top of mount Sion. Nevertheless Sion shall come, and shall be showed,
being prepared and builded for all men, like as thou sawest the hill graven
forth without any hands. But my son shall rebuke the people that are come for
their wickedness, with the tempest, and for their evil imaginations: and their
pains wherewith they shall be punished, are likened unto the flame: and with out
any labor, shall he destroy them, even by the law, which is compared to the
fire.
And whereas thou sawest, that he gathered
another peaceable people unto him: those are the ten tribes, which were carried
away prisoners out of their own land, in the time of *Oseas the King, whom *Salmanasar
the King of Assiria took prisoner, and carried them over the water, and so they
came into another land.
But they gave them this counsel, that they
should leave the multitude of the Heathen, and go forth into a farther country,
where never mankind dwelt: that they might there keep their statutes, which they
never kept in their own land. And so they entered in at the narrow passages of
water of the Euphrates, and God showed tokens for them, and held still the flood
till they were passed over: for through that country there was a great way,
namely of a year and a half journey, for that same region is called Asareth.
Then dwelt they there unto the latter time: and when they come forth again, the
Highest shall hold still the springs of the stream again, that they may go
through, therefore thou sawest the multitude with peace. And they that be left
behind of thy people, are those that be found within my border. Now when he
destroyeth the multitude that is gathered together, he shall defend his people
that remain, and then shall he show them great wonders.
Then said I: O' Lord, Lord, show me this:
wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the deep of the sea? And he said
unto me: Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know these things that are in
the deep of the sea, even so mayest thou not see my son, or those that be with
him, but in the time of the day. This is the interpretation of the dream which
thou sawest, therefore thou only art here lightened: for thou hast forsaken
thine own law, and applied thy diligence unto mine, and sought it. Thy life thou
hast ordered in wisdom, and hast called understanding your mother, and therefore
have I showed thee the treasure of the Highest. After three days I will show
thee more, and talk with thee at more large, yee heavy and wondrous things will
I declare unto thee.
Then went I forth into the field, giving
praise and thanks greatly unto God, because of his wonders which he did in time,
and because he governeth the same, and such as is in time, and there I sat three
days
*durst= dare *Oseas = Hosea, *Salmanasar = Shalmaneser
Woe to the blood thirsty city, which is all full of lies and
robbery, and will not leave off of ravishing. There a man may hear
scourging, rushing, the noise of the wheels, the crying of the horses, and the
rolling of the chariots. There the horsemen get up with naked swords, and
glittering spears: There layeth a multitude of slain, and a great heap of dead *coarses,
yee men fall upon their bodies: And that for the great and many fold
whoredom, of the fair and beautiful harlot: which is a mistress of witchcraft,
yee and selleth the people through her whoredom, and the nations through her
witchcraft.
Behold, I will upon thee ( sayeth the Lord
of hosts ) and will pull thy clothes over thy head: that I may show thy
nakedness among the Heathen, and thy shame among the kingdoms. I will cast dirt
upon thee, to make thee be abhorred, and a gazing stock: Yee all they that look
upon thee, shall start back, and say: Ninive is destroyed.
Who will have pity upon thee: where shall
I seek one to comfort thee? Art thou better than the great city of
Alexandria: that lay in the waters, and had the waters round about it: which was
strongly fenced and walled with the sea? Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength,
and that exceedingly great above measure. Africa and Libya were her helpers, yet
was she driven away, and brought into captivity: her young children were smitten
down at the head of every street, the lots were cast for the most ancient men in
her, and all her mighty men were bound in chains. Even so shalt thou also be
drunken, and hide thyself, and seek some help against thy enemy. All thy strong
cities shall be like fig trees with ripe figs: which when a man shaketh, they
shall fall into the mouth of the eater.
Behold, thy people within thee are but
women: the ports of thy land shall be open to thine enemies, and the fire
shall devour thy barrs. Draw water now against thou be besieged, make up thy
strongholds, go into the clay, temper the mortar, make strong brick: yet the
fire shall consume thee, the sword shall destroy thee, yee as the locust doth,
so shall it eat thee up. It shall fall heavily upon thee as the locusts, yee
right heavily shall it fall upon thee, even as the grasshoppers. Thy
merchants have been numbered with the stars of heaven: but now shall they spread
abroad as the locusts, and flee their way:
Thy lords are as the grasshoppers, and thy captains as the multitude of
grasshoppers: which when they be cold, remain in the hedges: but when the Sun is
up, they flee away, and no man can tell where they are become. Thy shepherds are
asleep ( O king of Assur ) thy worthies are laid down: thy people is scattered
abroad upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them together again. Thy wound
cannot be healed, thy plague is so sore. All they that hear this of thee, shall
clap their hands over thee. For what is he, to whom thou hast not always been
doing hurt
*coarses= corpses ..courses; manner of proceeding or developing;
This understand, that in the last days shall come parlous times. For the men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to father and mother, unthankful, unholy, unkind, trucebreakers, stubborn, false accusers, rioters, fierce despisers of them which are good, traitors, heady, high minded, greedy upon voluptuousness more then lovers of God,
having a similitude of Godly living, but have denied the power thereof: and such abhor. Of this sort are they which enter into houses, and bring into bondage women laden with sin, which women are led of *diverse lusts, ever learning and never able to come unto the knowledge of the truth.traitors,...
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 17
When he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should
come he answered them and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with waiting for.
Neither shall men say: Lo here, lo there. For behold the kingdom of God is with
in you.
And he said unto the disciples: The days
will come, when ye shall desire to see one day of the son of man, and ye shall
not see it. And they shall say to you: See here, See there. Go not after them,
nor follow them, for as the lightning that appeareth out of the one part of the
heaven: and shineth unto the other part of heaven. So shall the son of man be in
his days. But first must he suffer many things, and be refused of this nation.
As it happened in the time of Noe: So
shall it be in the time of the son of man. They ate, they drank, they married
wives and were married, even unto the same day that Noe went into the Ark: and
the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise also, as it chanced in the days
of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built. And
even the same day that Lot went out of *Zodom, it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven, and destroyed them all. After these examples, shall it be in the
day when the son of man shall appear.
At that day he that is on the house top and
his stuff in the house: let him not come down to take it out. And likewise let
not him that is in the fields, turn back again to that he left behind. Remember
Lots wife. Whosoever will go about to save his life, shall lose it: And
whosoever shall lose his life, shall save it. I tell you in that night, there
shall be two in one bed, that one shall be received and the other shall be
forsaken. Two shall be also a grinding together: the one shall be received, and
the other forsaken. And they answered, and said unto him: where Lord? And he
said unto them: wheresoever the body shall be, thither
will the eagles resort.
